We. the delegates Of the United Labor Party

hereby reassert as the fundamental platform
of the party and the basis on which we ask
the cooperation Of citizens OF other states,
the following declaration of principles
adopted on September 3, 1886. by the conven-

the city OF New York, that resulted in the
formation Of the United Labor Party:

We, the Labor Party Club Of Denver.

which we ask the adherence Of all honest

We are the party that, at the spring elec-

such were ascertained by the light OF SCI
ence. that we would embody them In our
platform and call upon all men 10 aid In an
uprootlng OF the conditions that cre,te these
Affections, through the medium OF the ballot.
We shall nominate ticket Of men pledg-
ed to the support Of this decl,ntion, and we
ask for them the votes Of the people.
IL we should waste our time on side issues
or keep silent, or remain slavishly In the
ranks Of the old parties, the very stones al
our ft,t would cry out. Murder Is commit
ted day by day through The Infamous wage
system. Children are slain, women worked
% death, men killed inch by inch. and these
crimes are never punished by law. The al
fairs II this land are administered by the
capitalist class for their own benefit. They
deny Us justice, liberty AMI the full proceeds
of our labor. The mechanic sinks TO slav'

in the cooperative association OF the collect

In 50 far as these things can be carried

all industries involving the use of public
franchises, or the performances Of public
functions.
The direct issue Of currency and money
by the national treasury. without the inter-
vention of banks.
And as a first step to the recovery of the
natural Inheritance of the people, we favor
q special tax on unimproved land, sufficient
ly high to compel its improvement or its sur
render to the community by the spectators
who Withhold 1t from use.
We favor also tax on all incomes above
two thousand dollars per annum, SO gradu-
ated as to bear most heavily npon the great
incomes Of the monopolistic classes and cor
porations, and thus materially tighten the
burdens now borne by the workers, pro-
ducers and masses Of the people.
With the same end in view, we also favor
the exemption from taxation Of the average
homestead, farms. manufactures, working
tools and properties under IS 900 in value, oc-
cupied or productivity used by the owners,
and not rented out.

CROPS FOR FERTILIZERS.
n Splendid way OF Assisting the Soil to
Incorporate Itself

a Splendid way OF Assisting the Soil to
Recuperata Itself
There are times when, after the crop
has been harvested, the land is allowed
10 remain undisturbed until the sue
ceeding spring; but experience has
demonstrated that 1t is better to have
crop of some kind on tho ground at all
times, provided such crops be not per-
mitted to mature, but be turned under
as manure. The old system of fallow-
ing the land, which was simply to give
It a period of rest for recuperation,
proved very beneficial; yet, while the
land is remaining unproductive advan-
tage should be taken of the opportunity
for assisting the soil to regain fertility.
The soils that were heavily cropped
and abandoned became slightly COW
cred with scanty herbagc, but as the
feeble plants derived much Of their focd
from the atmosphere. and, when plowed
under, added that which they gained to
the soil, in a few years the soil became
sufficiently fertile to bear crop of some
kind. But such system is not an eco
nomical one, for not only is there a
loss of time, but the process of re-
cuperation is slow. Provided the
crop be seeded in with a view of
turning It under the soil is always BEN
Gifted, for while the plants, through
the agency of the roots and leaves, ap-
prupriate nitrogen in the shape of nitric
acid and ammonia from the atmosphere
and moisture, the roots also exert both
a mechanical and chemical action on
tho inert elements of the soil itself,
thus converting plant food from in
soluble materials. Hence, when reg
,,Ior cror ia romoved. such as corn, the

A Sound Mind In a Sound Body.

Science and philosophy have exhaus-
ted themselves in profound treaties to
determine the just relation between
mind and matter, between body and
soul, how to preserve the equilibrium
between the two, and how to restore

body. This great problem has sue
cessfully been solved by a gentleman

himself, proving that an ounce of
